Frequently asked questions about contacts.dot

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for a fintech founder?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

Is contacts.dot reserved for anyone during launch?

Some labels may be reserved by the registry, but most names like contacts.dot pass through sunrise (for trademark holders) and general availability (for everyone). domain.pay can check contacts.dot's status and queue it appropriately. Verify and pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

For payroll disbursements, can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

What ongoing steps keep contacts.dot protected after I register it?

After registering contacts.dot, keep it renewed, maintain accurate registrant records, monitor for contacts.dot lookalikes, and reinforce to customers that contacts.dot is the only official payment address. Ownership plus upkeep keeps NicNames protected over time. https://domain.pay/

For digital wallets, can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL?

Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.

Availability is checked live and re-verified before payment. Pre-orders are first-day registration attempts — registration is not guaranteed; 100% credit toward another domain (or 80% cash refund) if unsuccessful.
